Product Information

The Mournes are fabled in Northern Irish legend and adored today. Even out of season in November, I climbed Slieve Binnian alongside a steady stream of hikers and struggled to book last-minute accommodation around Newcastle. Visiting the Mourne Mountains is popular all year round amongst domestic and international travellers! From Newcastle tourist office, cross the road and turn right. Just before the Shimna bridge, turn left into Castle Park. Follow a paved footpath past the boating lake and cross the busy Shimna Road. Continue across Islands Park to a footbridge. Cross the bridge and follow a path along the river, past a series of recreational facilities.
